People interviewed

Haunted school[]

Barney visits Headlands School in Penarth, Cardiff[8] to investigate whether the rumours of it being haunted are true. He gives a brief history of building, and goes down to the cellars to show viewers where parts of TV: The Unquiet Dead and TV: Tooth and Claw were filmed. He then talks to a man called Sean who claims to have seen several ghosts in the the building. After that Geraint and Joanne, from Ghost Watch, arrive with their equipment to stake out the building at night; they show Barney the equipment they'll be using - motion sensors, EMF meters, cameras, and a thermometer. They go down to the cellars with torches (as the lights aren't working down there), Barney gets startled by a drawing on a wall, before being spooked when his meter starts beeping and flashing. By midnight Barney wants to go home, but Geraint says they'll be sleeping there overnight.
